This control switches on the top and rear heating elements at various times in the main oven, dependent on which mode has been set. The temperature of the main oven can be set anywhere between 80˚C and 230˚C in cooking modes 1 - 5. The main oven preheat temperature indicator ( symbol) will be on the display (middle, left hand side). The main oven preheat temperature indicator ( symbol) will switch OFF and an audible tone will sound when the main oven has reached the required temperature.

The main oven has eight cooking functions. Use the main oven control to select the cooking mode you require. The display will show the function you have selected, across the top (1 - 7) with the eighth function being shown on the clock display as ‘(RISE)’.

When a program is set (position 1 - 5), the display will automatically suggest a cooking temperature. If you wish you can use the +/- control knob to change the suggested temperature to one of your own choice, within a range which is suitable for the particular cooking mode.

The main oven light can be switched on, when the oven is not in use, by pressing the oven light button on the display. The oven light will also operate whenever the main oven door is opened. NOTE: The oven light can be switched off when the door is opened by

pressing the oven light button on the display, or by closing the door.

The cooling fan operates with the ovens and grill. The fan will operate at full speed for a few seconds and then reduce to a lower speed. The cooling fan will only increase to full speed if the temperature inside the oven reaches above a certain limit.

The Cooking Modes in your Oven

Your new cooker is equipped with a number of different cooking modes:

Conventional Heating (Top Oven)

- with upper and lower heat. This system is particularly suitable for roasting and baking on one shelf only.

Variable Grilling (Top Oven)

- the oven can also be used for conventional grilling with a full or half width fully controllable grill.

Note: The Top Oven door should be open when grilling.

Fan Oven (Main Oven)

- the fan oven operates by constantly blowing heated air, from an element wrapped around the fan, into the oven. This gives improved efficiency and in general, enables the use of lower temperatures for cooking. It also means that there is less need to be particular about shelf positions and that you can bake at more than one level simultaneously (Batch Baking).

Traditional (Main Oven)

- the upper and rear heating elements are switched on in this position. The traditional oven brings an outstanding level of temperature distribution and reduced consumption. In traditional cooking use only one rack to ensure good heat distribution. By using the various shelf positions available you can balance the quantity of heat between the upper and lower part. If cooking requires more heat from below or above, use the lower or higher shelves respectively.

Roast Meat (Main Oven)

- specially created for cooking joints of meat. This mode raises the temperature in the oven to a very high heat for the first part of the cooking cycle, to seal the outside of the joint and retain the juices of the meat throughout cooking. After this the temperature is reduced to the set temperature using each heating element in turn to guarantee a homogeneous temperature for the cooking period. A temperature is suggested on this mode but this can be altered using the '+/-' control knob.

Roast Chicken (Main Oven)

- specially created for cooking excellent roast poultry. This mode can be used to roast chickens, duck, turkey and other poultry to perfection. Each heating element is used in the cycle to guarantee a homogeneous temperature within the oven. A temperature is suggested on this mode but this can be altered using the '+/-' control knob.

The Cooking Modes in your Oven

Fish (Main Oven)

- this mode provides gently pulsing top and rear heat to lightly poach fish dishes without overcooking or drying out. A temperature is suggested on this mode but this can be altered using the '+/-' control knob.

Rising (Main Oven)

- this mode heats and holds the oven at 40˚C. It is ideal for proving bread and yeast based dough mixtures. When this mode is selected a cooking duration of 14 minutes is automatically set, this can be altered by pressing the 'time/mode' button until the cooking duration icon flashes. Then use the '+/-' control knob to adjust the cooking duration.

Bread cycle - Auto

- this mode is fully automatic and lasts for 1 hour. When this mode is selected the time and temperature cannot be adjusted. It is suitable for baking bread weighing up to 1.5kg, either in a tin or on a baking tray. This mode includes a proving cycle and a baking cycle. If an initial proving cycle is needed this can be done using the RISE mode (8). Some recipe ideas are included in the recipe book supplied with the cooker.

Cake cycle - Auto

- this mode is fully automatic and lasts for 1 hour. When this mode is selected the time and temperature cannot be adjusted. it is suitable for baking sponge based cakes that take between 30 minutes and 1 hour to cook. Some recipe ideas are included in the recipe book supplied with the cooker.

Electronic Clock & Automatic Cooking Feature

When you first switch on the appliance you will be prompted to set the ‘Time of Day’ on

the display. You must ensure you have done this before attempting to use the

automatic cooking feature.

Light

Time/Mode

The main oven can be controlled automatically.

- Select food which will require the same cooking time and temperature.

- To ensure food does not cool down and require reheating, set the end time so the food is ready when you require it.

- Always ensure that meat and poultry is defrosted before placing in the oven.

- Whenever possible, take food out of the refrigerator and keep it as cool as possible.

- If cooking food that requires frying before placing in the oven for automatic cooking, keep the delay time to a minimum.

- Never place hot or warm food in the oven for delayed start cooking as it could cause the oven to be warm and produce harmful bacteria in the food.

- We advise that dishes containing left-over cooked poultry and meat, eg. shepherds pie, should not be cooked automatically if there is to be a delay period.

- Ensure that delay start times are kept to a minimum to prevent bacterial growth in food.

- Wine or beer may ferment and cream may curdle during the delay period, so it is best to add these ingredients just before serving.

- Foods which discolour should be protected by coating in fat or tossing in water to which lemon juice has been added, prior to placing food in the oven.

- Dishes containing liquid should not be filled too full to prevent boiling over.

- Food should be well sealed (but not airtight) in a container to prevent the loss of liquid during cooking. Aluminium foil gives a good seal.

- Always ensure that food is piping hot and cooked thoroughly before serving.

- Only reheat food once.
